MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-c) is a naturally occurring 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Unlike most peptides encoded by nuclear genes, MOTS-c originates from the mitochondrial genome and has become an important research tool for investigating mitochondrial communication, metabolic regulation, and cellular homeostasis.

Since its discovery, MOTS-c has been widely studied in laboratory research exploring energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, insulin signaling, exercise physiology, oxidative stress, and age-related biological processes.
